What makes a good husband according to Mansha Pasha?

Actor Mansha Pasha, who has been happily married to lawyer and activist Jibran Nasir since 2021, recently appeared on Mazaaq Raat and detailed what she believes makes a good husband — or a good wife.

“Just because someone’s a good person, doesn’t mean they’re a good partner,” she shared.

Pasha, who was previously married to businessman Asad Farooqi, reflected on her initial doubts and eventual clarity about Nasir. Looking back at their relationship, she said, “When I first met Jibran, I knew he was the right fit for me. I said it in my heart at the time, and I waited for him to say it back to me in real life.”

The Laal Kabootar actor also admitted to feeling unsettled about her gut instinct. “I’m not the type of person to believe in instant love. I thought maybe I was overthinking it. I didn’t know whether I was right or wrong — I just had this feeling that he was the one for me.”

As the two spent more time together, Pasha realised that her instincts were leading her to the person who was right for her, not just the right person. “After getting to know him, I realised that whatever I had felt for him from the start was correct.

“You need to understand that a good man doesn’t necessarily make a good husband, just the way all good women do not always make good wives,” she stressed. “Before you marry a man, you should see how he will behave as a husband — not just whether he can take care of other people, but whether he can take care of you.”

Pasha illustrated this with an anecdote. She recalled an incident where she accidentally broke a glass, and instead of getting upset or pointing fingers, Nasir calmly cleaned up the mess. “I realised that even though it was my fault, and my mess, he instantly showed concern for me and started to clean it up.”

For Pasha, the moment was a small yet powerful reflection of Nasir’s nature. “He has shown in so many ways that he is caring. He doesn’t focus on the fault. He focuses on how it can be fixed.”

Pasha and Nasir got engaged in 2019. During their engagement, Nasir spoke about taking inspiration from his then-fianceé. “She is an enterprising, ambitious working woman. She also has her alone time, some hours to explore herself, her talent as an actress, and that is what brings me inspiration.” The two tied the knot in 2021.
